The two teachers, Assistant Lecturer Fatima Muhammad Ali Talib and Assistant Lecturer Hadeel Ibrahim Muhammad, participated in the activities of the Fourth International Scientific Conference entitled: (Climatic and environmental changes and their impact on women and society), which was held by the Women’s Studies Center at the University of Baghdad in cooperation with the Arab Organization for Culture, Education and Science/ The League of Arab States, the Iraq Foundation for Culture and Development, the National Department for Iraqi Women/General Secretariat of the Iraqi Council of Ministers, the Iraqi Ministry of Environment, and the Women’s Empowerment Department/Iraqi Ministry of Education.
The two teachers stated that their participation in the conference was to present two papers that included the role of women in confronting climate change, and climate and environmental changes and their impact on women according to the United Nations Development Programme. The subject of the research presented revolved around the problem of environmental degradation and the climate changes resulting from it, which can be observed through rising temperatures and the changes associated with that rise. What accelerates these changes are the security threats that are multiplying at a sudden and alarming speed, and with them the size of the effects they leave on human societies in general and women in particular. On the basis of this, the same international organizations, especially the United Nations, must take this issue into their own considerations, especially with the increasing suffering of women from these major climate changes and their enormous effects. According to estimates by the United Nations Environment Programs, which indicate that 80% of those displaced due to climate changes are women.
